1/144 Percival PROVOST T.1 / T.53 British trainer - Miniwings

1/144 Percival PROVOST T.1 / T.53  British trainer - Miniwings

A nice little injected plastic key of a classic british trainer, up to the usual sminiwings standards. You will note some of the fine details on this release - of particular note is the quality of the canopy and how thin the glazing is for such a small piece in this scale!

Two kits are provided in this boxed edition

During the 1950s, the Provost was developed for the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a replacement for the Percival Prentice. The Provost was an all-metal, single-engined, two-seat monoplane, featuring fixed conventional landing gear with a fully-castering tailwheel. It was developed to provide training that was better-suited to the increasingly-complicated operational aircraft that were then being brought into service. The main two seats in the cockpit were positioned in a side-by-side configuration, enabling the instructor to sit directly alongside the student, easing training by allowing for mutual close observation and for flight procedures to be more readily demonstrated; a third seat had been originally specified for use by an observer, but this position was later omitted following little use.[6] The cockpit was considered to be relatively bulky amongst its contemporary rivals, a feature that did not heavily impinge upon the aircraft's overall performance.[3] The type was designed to be easy to maintain; various components were intentionally interchangeable where possible and there was a generous provision of access hatches in the fuselage.

The BAC Jet Provost is a British jet trainer aircraft that was in use with the Royal Air Force (RAF) from 1955 to 1993. It was originally developed by Hunting Percival from the earlier piston engine-powered Percival Provost basic trainer, and later produced by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC). In addition to the multiple RAF orders, the Jet Provost, sometimes with light armament, was exported to many air forces worldwide.

The design was also further developed into a more heavily armed ground attack variant under the name BAC Strikemaster.

1/144 Bücker Bü 181 Bestmann "2 Kits in 1" by JACH models

1/144 Bücker Bü 181 Bestmann  "2 Kits in 1" by JACH models  

JACH are keen to label this as a "Work in progress (Nedokonceno)" and changes therefore may happen before reaching a release date. JACH have produced a range of interesting 1/144 designs from their Czechia base.Ranging from Luft 46 fighters through to the DFS 230 glider, they have often produced kits for Valom, Attack, Miniwing and others...

It is proposed that various releases with decals schemes *may* be produced covering:
 - German
 - Foreign services
 - Zlín

Cost: to be confirmed,
Release Date: to be confirmed


Primary Trainer of the Luftwaffe, developed in the late 1930s and entered service in 1940 and saw service with 16 countries during and after WWII.

The Bücker factory at Rangsdorf built most of the Bü 181's, but because of demand was forced to license the design to the Fokker Company in the Netherlands, who subsequently built 373 of the type for the Luftwaffe all of which were delivered by the end of 1943. Production of both the Bü 181B and the slightly modified Bü 181C was begun by Fokker in Amsterdam in 1942 and its total wartime production was 708 aircraft.

The Bü 181 was also built by Zliner Flugzeugwerke AG plant at Zlin, in the Bohemia & Moravia Protectorate and after the German withdrawal the production continued after the war in the same Zlin works, now denominated as the C.6 and C.106 for the Czechoslovak Air Force and as the Zlín Z.281 and Z.381 in various versions for civil use. 783 aircraft were built. Between 1943 and 1945, Hägglund & Söner AB in Sweden built 120 Bü 181's under license with the Swedish military designation Sk 25.

During the 1950s the Heliopolis Aircraft Works of Egypt acquired a Czechoslovakian licence to produce the Zlín Z-381 with a 105 hp Walter-Minor engine. It was produced for the Egyptian Air Force as the Heliopolis Gomhouria (meaning "Republic") and subsequent versions were supplied to other Arab air forces. At least 300 Gomhourias were built.[1] In all, 3,400 aircraft were built but only a handful survives today.

Cessna T-37 / A-37B Trainer/Attack - By Senworks

senworks.wordpress.com/2010/01/16/the-trainer-series-continues

So, you thought that Cessna just make dull little weekend hobby aircraft?
Well here is a project that should shake up that view and cause you to look again!

It would appear that Cessna made a interesting jet trainer the Cessna T-37 "Tweet" that could also be used as a (cheap) ground attack aircraft (favoured by third world Dictators and Junta around the world, allegedly).

The project is in its early days but this is the Atelier that bought us the really nice Junkers W.34 Hau at the end of 2009.

It will come with mulitple decal options

I also assume for the Cessna A-37B "Dragonfly" or"Super Tweet" additional munitions and wingtip fuel tanks? (tbc).

The other great news is that according to wiki these was used by a whole host of countries around the world, so there should be some great scope for further paint and decal schemes
